My wife and I stayed on the 11th floor of this hotel last week and were not disappointed. It is in a great location very near to the Tiananmen Square and Forbidden City(a few blocks and approximately 10-15 mins. walk). The hotel itself appears more than a few years old but in very good condition. It was clean with a fridge in the room. There are a few eating places nearby along with a small mall. There is an ATM in the lobby as well. It was also very reasonable ( cheaper than a lot of comparable hotels here in the States). Service was good although only a few of the staff spoke good English. The only other comment that I have is that the room always seemed to be warm that we had to open the windows. I would stay there again.

"We had quality staying."

Very nice hotel & friendly. Staffs are very polite and helpful. We had a great time staying at this hotel. But they need to be well expert in English to communicate with international guests.
Overall, good arrangement with very small issues.

"A fantastic place to stay with a real touch of luxury"

Couldn't recommend the Capital Hotel in Beijing more highly. Checking in early was NO issue and we were even provided an upgrade. First impressions were of a top class hotel with a very spacious and clean well set out foyer. The room was excellent with a bathroom area alone being almost as big as a flat and containing both a shower and bath. The living area was also spacious with the bed being very comfortable. The room was also exceptionally clean and well maintained. Lots of little extra's were also provided. The hotel was very easy to find with the subway being 500 metres away. Tiananmen square and the Forbidden City were also only a short walk away. Good restaurants were also within easy walking distance.
The wifi signal was weak however sitting near the router provided no issues in accessing the internet.
The price we paid for this luxury was exceptional

"Nice hotel in a central location"

We stayed here for three nights as we wanted to see a good bit of Beijing and the surrounding area and off course visit the Badaling section of The Great Wall. When we arrived the hotel was very busy as a lot of competitors for the Great Wall Marathon had also booked in to stay. The reception staff were nice and we had requested an early check in with quite room on a high floor which was what we got. The rooms are a little dated but still very nice and clean. The bed is comfortable and there's plenty of english speaking channels on TV. There's nice touches like the toiletries (toothbrush, shaving blade,handcreams, brush and shampoo) come in a lovely wooded ornamental box.
The hotel itself is very central and is close to the Metro and Bus stop. You can walk to Tinanmen Square in under 15 minutes or The Palace museum in 10 minutes. There's plenty of eateries nearby and you should explore.
The Breakfast buffet is superb with loads to choose from, whether it's cereals, European, American or Chinese food. The only issue is the Chinese don't seem to have an idea of person space. We were at table for four and there were plenty of other tables free but a Chinese man sat down next to us and started eating and slurping his soup. Then he helped himself to some of our shared fruit and as lots of Chinese do, the throat clearing and spitting started. We had to move tables and sit a lot further away as did an American competitor in the marathon. Don't let this deter you as the hotel itself is very good but when you're visiting China be prepared for some local customs or habits.

"Wonderful hotel within a stone's throw from the Forbidden City"

and around the corner from Wanfujing Street and the old Legation Quarter. Very professional and friendly staff, all the amenities for business travellers and tourists, well served by the metro and several bus lines. I loved the variety at the breakfast buffet, coffee, tea-western and eastern choices were available and very well prepared. Nice outdoors areas, several shops with traditional items. A quiet relaxing place, even though it is so centrally located.
